Patient's question:
Doctor, I have been experiencing testicular pain and itching recently. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with orchitis. What are the symptoms of orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Before treatment, orchitis is often characterized by high fever, chills, testicular pain radiating to the groin, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, redness and swelling of the scrotal skin, and testicular enlargement, frequently accompanied by hydrocele. After treatment for orchitis, symptoms disappear, blood white cells return to normal, the testicles show no swelling, and there is no hydrocele, with significant symptom improvement. For orchitis patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence, while delayed treatment may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely symptomatic treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
